Our process for managing every project, no matter the size, is kinda sorta, a little like this.

ResearchUnderstanding the task or subject matter. For some projects this is simply a meeting, for others it can be a week long holiday… um research trip.

StrategyWe take said research, discombobulate it, then provide insights, recommendations or a plan. In its simplest form the strategy can be a creative brief, or at its most complex a detailed brand strategy.

IdeasThe goal of the ideas stage is to create as many ideas as possible. We then pare back the ideas to those that meet the strategic requirements, and present them for discussion.

DevelopmentThe selected ideas are then fleshed out into a first draft. Design assets such as graphics, images and writing are developed and presented for discussion.

RefinementBased on your feedback the second and final drafts of the project are refined and presented for approval.

ProductionArtwork and specifications are created for the production of the final deliverables.

LearnWe then sit back and pat each other on the back, whilst we measure the effectiveness of our work together and talk about the next project.
